Astro Original Balkan Style 3% Plain 750g Family Tub

Twice Baked Potatoes

Preparation time:
1 hour

Yield:
Makes 8

4	large baking potatoes	4
1 cup	Astro Original Balkan Style 3% Plain yogourt	250 mL
2 tbsp	Lactantia butter or Lactantia margarine	30 mL
½ tsp	salt	2.5 mL
¼ tsp	black pepper	1.2 mL
2 tbsp	chopped fresh chives or 2 tsp dried chives	30 mL
½ cup	Black Diamond Sargento sharp cheddar shredded cheese	125 mL

Bake whole potatoes in 350°F (180°C) oven until completely cooked (about 30-45 minutes depending on size of potatoes). Let cool slightly, until easily handled.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh into a medium bowl leaving about ¼” (0.5 cm) of flesh with skin intact.
To the bowl add Astro yogourt, Lactantia butter, salt, pepper, and chives. Blend with a potato masher or whip with an electric mixer for a fluffy, and creamy consistency.
Distribute filling evenly among the 8 potato cases. Top each with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of Black Diamond Sargento shredded cheese.
Return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through and cheese is lightly browned. Serve immediately.

Replace Astro Original Balkan Style 3% Plain yogourt for any other Astro Plain yogourt.
Remove Lactantia butter for an even lower fat version.
Use a different cheese to change the flavour. Try a smoked Gruyere or Gouda.
Potatoes can be made partially in advance. Prepare to Step 4 cover and refrigerate as early as the day before. Before serving preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and continue on Step 5. You may need to extend the time if cooking from refrigerator.
